The latest teaser for season 5 episode 7 of ‘The Boys’ could have given away the biggest turnaround of the series yet. The series has been in shady territory for weeks, with betrayals and increasingly terrifying Homelander moments.
However, after all that, the series is finally bringing in some of the key characters from ‘Gen V’, and fans already believe they could turn things around.
Marie Moreau May Be The Biggest Threat To Homelander Yet
The teaser gives viewers a quick but exciting glimpse of Marie Moreau and Jordan Li entering the fight just as Homelander’s power appears more dangerous than ever. After the shocking conclusion of episode 6, where Soldier Boy gave up the powerful V1 compound, things suddenly look hopeless for Butcher and the rest of the team.

However, that’s what makes these characters from ‘Gen V’ feel so special when they come back. Marie Moreau is a particular favourite of fans among all the returning supes. Her blood manipulation powers were already one of the most disturbing additions.
But now viewers believe these powers may be the reason to finally end Homelander. The theory floating around the internet is very simple, yet intriguing: if Marie can manipulate blood on a microscopic level, can she also manipulate the V1 compound out of Homelander’s body? If that’s the case, the invulnerable supe might finally be at risk.
That adds a ton of suspense to the last episode. Until now, Homelander has been almost unstoppable, particularly after he acquired even more power. The teaser of him entering the Oval Office only makes it clearer how far things have gone. It’s disturbing to see Homelander getting closer to complete political power as everyone around him is desperately searching for answers.
‘The Boys’ Finale Is Getting Really Unpredictable
The final stretch is particularly interesting because ‘The Boys’ has strayed so far from its comic roots. Even longtime readers don’t really know where things are going anymore, making each teaser seem like it has a lot of potential.

Meanwhile, Eric Kripke appears to be going to great lengths to ensure the conclusion is grand in scope, assembling a cast of characters from all around the franchise. Despite the recent cancellation of ‘Gen V’, its characters are obviously still significant to the overall narrative.
At this point, the final battle feels inevitable. The only question that remains is if anyone can survive it, particularly if Homelander is as strong, angry, and as powerful as ever.
